New build mastic for homes and businesses in Park Wood
In a new home, every joint should have a clean, even bead. When the finish is smeared, patchy or already cracking, it’s worth putting right early, before water reaches anything behind it. If you have sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces and gaps opening as the house dries out and settles, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
If you’ve bought a new home in or near Park Wood, the first year or two is a good time to check the sealant. Common snags include open skirting joints, lifting shower seals and gaps around frames.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Common questions in Park Wood
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Maidstone West station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is Park Wood in your area for new build mastic?
Yes, Park Wood is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can I send you my snagging list?
Yes. Send the list and a few photos of the sealant items. We’ll flag anything that needs another trade.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re based in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Can you reseal over the builder’s sealant?
No. The old sealant is cut out fully, then clean and prime the joint, before resealing.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
What affects the cost of new build mastic
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- The product the joint needs
- Whether the work is at height
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Mould in or behind the old joints
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll talk you through it.
What to tell us for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- The rough size of the job
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- The problem you’ve noticed
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and describe the job and send photos if you have them.
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
- Report sealant problems to your builder during the snagging period
- Act quickly if a seal starts to leak
- Watch for new gaps as the house dries out
Avoid standing on the rim of the bath or the edge of the tray while the sealant cures. Report any movement in a bath or tray.
Don’t let the snagging period run out with sealant problems unreported. After that, putting it right may fall to you so report it promptly.
When something else is needed
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Broken tiles or a split tray
- Plumbing faults behind the sealant
- A tray or bath that isn’t properly supported, until it’s fixed
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.

What else we do in Park Wood
The process
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours in a single home, including the tidy-up. A visit to Park Wood is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We start by agreeing which joints are on the list, from the snagging sheet or plot schedule.
- Failed or untidy sealant is cut out completely.
- Each joint is cleaned of dust and grit, then primed if required.
- A sealant chosen for each area goes in and is tooled smooth.
- We check every joint and tell you how long each needs to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
